What would be the cheapest place to get The Phantom Pain to have it before the weekend?

Argos have it for about €60 which seems to be the best of the physical stores.

Other way around. HMV pulled out of Ireland and Xtravision took over their stores and branding. HMV in the 26 counties use XV's suppliers hence why there has been a massive fall off in stock levels - the games floor in HMV Grafton St is mostly vinyl players, speakers, electronics and assorted junk toys.

Aye that sounds right. Bunch of ****e in the games these days, no nintendo stuff at all pretty much, missing a fair few new releases for PS4/XB1, shambles it is.

All prices are including PS+ discounts, so they will cost a bit more if you're not subscribed.

Like I said, it could only be got in GS.

It could also have been gotten much cheaper than €80 on one of the North American PSN's.

Just read this here:

Very good news indeed, as I was looking for second hand one and willing to pay €250

Anyone know where it's cheapest to buy a 20th anniversary controller?

Did you read what I bought, The Uncharted Trilogy Special Edition so no, no it couldn't of.

Also physical is always better than digital.

I misread your post. Sorry if it upset you.

Out of curiosity, why is physical always better than digital? Trading in games means nothing to me.

Heaven forbid, the servers to download games ever get shutdown (speaking as an old PS3 user here...). Physical space for discs is easier (wrt storage) than digital hard drive space. Digital games you have to download then install, discs you load and install whatever is necessary.

Aside from trading in games to shops, many people sell on their consoles + games afterwards or pass them on to family/friends. Thee are arguments for and against eg. stock in-store is an issue with discs, losing a disc etc. but if download is quicker than waiting for a deliverythen there's that...

lertsnim

None of the above bothers me.

What servers for downloading bought games were shut down on the PS3?

HDD space isn't an issue as I have a 2TB drive in my PS4 and when I finish a game it is deleted.

I have no problem downloading games. They download in the background on the PS4 so I can play something else or leave the console in standby while I do something in the real world.

Many people sell on their consoles? I never have and still use my PS3 regularly and play games I bought digitally.

I can see the merits of having a game on disc, I have a few myself but it is silly to completely dismiss digital copies. At the end of the day the deciding factor for me is the cost of the game. If it is cheaper digitally then that is where I am buying it.

None afaik but heaven forbid Sony goes out of business in twenty years what rights do consumers have? (not rhetorical, don't actually know the answer to this). Might seem an absurd proposition but large companies do go under, granted the prospect of Sony hitting the wall seems far fetched but there are people who cherish their decades old physical media.

Well there are PS3 bundles on Adverts so yeah I guess they do.

I am the same but if there's only a fiver in the difference and/or I can wait for a digital price drop I'll download.

EoinHef

Physical and Digital both take up the exact same size on the PS4 HDD.

Games dont run off the disk anymore,its used to validate your copy of the game and the initial install but thats about it.

Faker74

So clearly I don't understand retail.

On Tuesday Argos were selling the 500GB PS4 (ignoring the bundles) for EUR 379.99 (i.e. EUR 20 below the RRP of EUR 399.99).

On Wednesday Sony announce a new RRP of EUR 349.99.

On Thursday Argos change the price to EUR 444.99!

(I assume prices have updated on their UK site and they are just doing a straight currency conversion, rather than pricing to the market).

sweetie

Argos consoles were severely underpriced in Ireland compared to UK for at least a year. Maybe they've finally copped.

After having my PP hacked and then cancelled then Sony went ahead and banned me from PSN so all my purchased games were gone and couldn't be played, never again... physical always, and it's always much cheaper than digital.

Surely you should have challenged that?

My Xbox Live account got hacked once. MS had to lock it for about a week while they investigated but once they sorted me out I was free to use my account again. Couldn't fault MS on that one.

Am I right in thinking that the Resident Evil Super Bundle doesn't have the HD remake but has Resi 1 with the Eirector's Cut option?

It's basically everthing that was released before the first Revelations, isn't it?

Is RE6 worth a punt at €9 or am I best off leaving it?
